Motherboard advice

[nosbusch2005]

I need some advice on picking a motherboard for a possible build. I am planning on an E8400 and 4870 and would like the option to do crossfire in the future.
This is the board I am currently looking at and I am wondering if it is a quality board or if I should be looking elsewhere.

I'd like to keep it under $200 for the motherboard.
Thanks

Today's newegg "shell shocker" is the Foxconn BlackOps X48 LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard for $179.99. I think they have a $60 mail-in rebate as well. Personally I am going to buy the EVGA x58 for $300 as everyone I've talked to (including here) appears to like it a lot!

Good luck!

The biostar I45 supports crossfire and is well under $200. It also holds the fsb world record and can run a fsb over 600mhz on air which would give you plenty of headroom for overclocking a E8400.

the black ops deal is quite good. and yes it has a 60 dollar MIR making it 120 bucks after rebate. thats a sick deal.
